Gallup Reviews

Pros

Gallup has a pathway to excellence on boarding program that offers a comprehensive overview of Gallup, the history of the company, why we do what we do and how we go about doing it. The on boarding program spans months and is all about relationships, meeting people, connecting to the ecosystem, and learning about how you can be a great Gallup citizen.

Here's what I have figured out in my first 6 weeks:

Gallup isn't your typical "Corporate America" business - people are highly engaged, super accountable, and get stuff done! We work hard and play hard.

There is very little red tape - if you need something, make your case for it. If it adds value and has a good ROI, you will likely get it. If it's a nice to have, you'll learn we are fiscally conservative and proud of it.

It's flat and title agnostic - you will not find an org chart when you start and titles won't help you understand what people do. If fact, my title isn't manger, it's "go-to" as in a person others can go-to if they need something. The idea is to do what you do best for the majority of your day. This is why relationship building is critical - it's like getting a 500 piece puzzle without a picture and you will need to figure out how it all fits together. (My puzzle is still a work in progress - it will take a while to figure out the matrix)

It's like a small town / big family - it seemed like everyone I was introduced to or introduced myself to had heard I was hired, heard my name and knew I was the new manager in technology. I felt a little like the shiny new toy at Christmas.

There is no rule book - you will need to find out how you can add the most value based on what you bring to the table - if you are a black and white thinker, this could be hard - if you are wired like an entrepreneur, this could be AWESOME!

Campus and Benefits:
The campus is beautiful, there is plenty of open collaboration space/conference rooms and tons of natural light. We have an on-site cafeteria with free coffee (its great), on-site gym with trainers (they are awesome), a full service credit union (they are great to work it) and more. We are all about well being from every aspect!

Our health insurance is a high deductible plan and is by far the most affordable plan I've ever seen! It was like getting a raise when I signed up compared to what I paid at prior employers. We also have 401K, disability, life, vision, dental, etc. You will have a one on one session to understand it all when you join.

Overall:
Hopefully this gives you a really good idea of what you might expect if you are looking at Gallup. When I looked at Glass Door reviews prior to joining Gallup, they didn't help me as much as I had hoped so I wanted to put this out there. In my first 6 weeks, I can say that I am thrilled to be a part of the Gallup tribe and can see myself staying for a very long time!!

P.S. Our talent team is pretty awesome - you should connect with them for more info.

Advice to Management

This company is great, no advice to management.

Pros

I've found my experience at Gallup to be both great and better than I've experienced at other companies. I've always felt valued and treated with great respect. It means a lot to be recognized as an individual rather than just another employee number. I've found Gallup large enough to contribute towards meaningful work and growth without being so large that it's hard to be visible. The company and industry as a whole are both changing rapidly and I've been pleased to see Gallup address these market opportunities proactively. I feel there is a strong future given the commitment to quality and passion for the work of my colleagues. The culture of the company and impact of its work are definitely the two best parts of working at Gallup.

Advice to Management

You're doing well. As with any company, communication and support are key. Keep up the frequent and different communication channels and weekly and/or monthly meetings for your team.

Pros

-Smart, smart people to work with every day.
-People that really care about you as a person: leadership, colleagues, best friends at work.
-People that really care about the success of the company.
-People that really care about the mission of the company.
-Opportunities to continuously learn and grow.
-Strengths-based organization where you get to do what you do best every day.
-Challenging and engaging work.
-Flexible work environment, in terms of both working hours and locations.
-Very little bureaucracy to getting work done. If you see a better way of doing something, you can do it because the outcome is what is important.

Advice to Management

Remain employee owned so all associates have the opportunity to share in the success of the company.

Pros

the opportunity to work and learn from insightful people (including top senior scientists), extensive travel, wonderful clients, and really kind people internally. After working in an environment where people aren't kind, this was really refreshing.

Advice to Management

continue the wonderful work. I really enjoy being a part of an organization that produces famous content.

the work from home policies have made the buildings feel empty

Pros

- The culture at Gallup is strong and upbeat in nature.
- Flex time is fantastic
- Intramural Sports/Office Gym (at the Omaha offices)
- Monthly awards and recognition
- The development team has some of the smartest and hardest working people I have met.

Advice to Management

I think the direction Gallup has taken in the past year have shown they are truly invested in technology as a core component of their business. Keep up the great work!
